All negative news all the time was never going to work.

Heard on tv this morning by some media "specialist' that 91% of the media's reporting is negative towards Trump. The lady also said more negative articles have been written about Trump since his inauguration than Obama had written about him in his last four years as president.

Cruz has already said he would accept. LINK Now that just leaves if Trump has enough, does not GAF's to do it. I say yeah. I think this is why Cruz didn't want AG.

When Democrats go and talk to working-class voters, we think talking to them about how we can help their children go to college, they have a better life, is great,” said Ali Lapp, executive director of House Majority PAC, which supports Democratic House candidates. “They are not interested. … It’s a problem when you have a growing bloc in the electorate think that college is not good, and they actually disdain folks that go to college.”

Medicare-for-all tests better, but it, too, generates suspicion. The challenge is that most voters in focus groups believe it’s a pipe dream — they ask who will pay for it and suspect it will lead to a government takeover of health care — and therefore wonder whether the politicians talking to them about it are being less than forthright, too. Sen. Bernie Sanders is scheduled to release a single-payer bill on Wednesday, with Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Tammy Baldwin among those joining him.

Raising the minimum wage to $15 is as unpopular as it was when the Obama White House tried to make it Democrats’ rallying cry in the 2014 midterms. Participants in battleground-state focus groups said they see that rate as relatively high and the issue in general as being mostly about redistributing money to the poor.

A whole bunch of fail on the Dems. They are in for a shock come 2018.

Donald is the definition of antifragile.

An aside to the thread - I heard on the Science Channel this morning that the USGA predicts that there is a 78% chance that a large part of CA will have a major earthquake within 30 years. Not the small ones of late but a very devastating quake to that location.

From Oakland south, according to their calculations, you better grab your arse.

It's beyond impressive how a 70+ year old man has mastered modern mass and social media.

Also Florida and NYC will be underwater due to global war..... I mean "climate change"

The liberal media doesn't understand that the more hysterical and over the top they get, they just prove his point for him.

The negative press has no impact on the mainstream public's opinion of him because people know the press is 100% dead set on trying to smear and destroy him at every turn so it just all becomes one loud screeching sound.

That caught me so off guard that the sushi fell out my mouth.

In no small part because there are far better candidates.
